Brown's RY427 Mustang Fastback Build

Looks good. That looks like a real nice survivor car, I used to be the last person to every say this but almost sad you're going to cut it up.

Engine should be fun but I have my doubts you will be happy running the 9000rpm cam on anything approaching a street vehicle. Most people I have seen over the years that put Nascar engines in always end up dialing back the cam quite a bit, but I wish you luck. Can't wait to see you package in something approaching a modern Nascar header too.

Only other thought is the rendering shows the lower valence closed up, you will probably want to open that up for more cooling flow.

Also, post it under the sub-forum "Project Updates" where we can follow along.

I agree that it's too nice to "cut up", but it's a nice project idea. I'd almost consider looking for just a shell, unless this car is non numbers matching.

Great looking project and one that I am looking forward to watching.

Preston- it is a very nice car to start with. Basically zero rust. It was a "c" code matching numbers car. Couple issue that we will fix along the way but overall the car isn't going to get massively modified on the exterior, just cleaned up. As far as the engine goes, that's what will make this car special. Roush Yates is developing a custom engine specifically for the street. It will idle at about 1000-1200 rpm and start making power at 2-2500 all the way to 9k. Some of the things they are going to be doing is what will make it possible to drive this in normal conditions.

Cool project.

I am dying to see some specs on a Nascar based motor that idles at a grand, has great low end and pulls to 9000. :eek:

Trust me. I am too. The engineering that they are putting in to this motor is incredible. I will update on the build tomorrow.

Done. It happens. :)

Welcome to the site. Sounds like it's going to be a great build. Good luck!

Muuuuuch better! Coming along nicely with the car. Keep up the good work.
